Event Details
Course Description
The race follows the Sri Chinmoy 10 km Recreational Running Course along the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin. Starting and finishing at Acton Park beside the Acton Ferry Terminal, the route uses the shared cycle‑path, offering smooth, paved surfaces and stunning water views. Runners pass the iconic lake bridges, glide past landscaped gardens and reach the 5 km turnaround at Yarramundi Reach before heading back. The course is fully measured, well‑marked at 2 km intervals and provides a flat, low‑impact run suitable for all ages, with plenty of photo‑ops and fresh lake breezes.
Getting There
Acton Park is accessed via the car park at the end of Barrine Drive off Commonwealth Avenue. Parking is available on‑site; arrive early to collect your bib (on‑the‑day registration runs 07:30‑08:20). For public transport options and any parking fees, check the official event website.
